Nicholas Presha, 16, and Jeremy Stewart, 18 were killed execution-style, sources tell WESH 2. The boys were bound, gagged and shot in the back of the head before their bodies were burned and left for someone to see and to send a message to others who may owe the killers money, according to sources.

Another candlelight vigil is planned for 7 p.m. Friday at the wooden bridge on the trail where they teens were found.

The bodies of the two were found on an embankment next to a bridge near Metric Drive and Forsyth Road by two bicyclists.

"They definitely didn't deserve this," said Jeremy Stewart's father James Stewart. "No one deserves it, I know them. They were not thugs. They were good, good kids. We pray to God they find these criminals."

The crime is being linked to an unpaid drug debt involving marijuana, according to sources. Those sources tell WESH 2 that less than $500 was owed to alleged gang members and at least one of the people suspected of the crime has already fled the country.

School officials at Winter Park High School are helping student cope with the loss of the two boys and even delayed the FCAT testing.

The school officials can administer the FCAT with makeup dates within a two-week window.

Vickie Cartright, who is in charge of FCAT testing for the district, said it was critical that students have the opportunity to grieve.

"We need to give those students an opportunity to go through that grief and that mourning process and to have those counselors available to them to talk through this and get through those emotions," said Cartright.

Cady Way Trail: A Closer Look

Friends said the two were best friends and very outgoing. Both were arrested in January for grand theft auto.

Presha is the son of former Orange County Sheriff's Capt. Bernie Presha, who now works for the state attorney.

Sources tell WESH 2 that the people responsible for the killings first tried to burn the boys' bodies behind a portable storage unit near the Sun Bay Apartments, but moved them closer to the trail.

"They were burned there at the scene," said Nieves. "What occurred or the circumstances of how they came to be there, we're not going to discuss it at this point because that information is limited as well."

"We are asking the community if there is anything they know," said Nieves. "Anything they saw yesterday morning at 6 or 6:30 a.m. in the morning or if they know what was going on that may have led to these killings. Please contact the Sheriff's Office."

Anyone with information on the case is also asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
